Just as an added note, if you're going to edit a photo to crop it, please save the result as a .png. If you resave the edited version as a .jpg instead it'll lose some quality due to lossy recompression.
Also, if you need to cut out parts of a video to shorten it, there are usually ways to do that losslessly, with free programs, but I've already made a post about that.

On that note. If the original image is in jpg format, then it is not even worth editing the image further and saving that in png format. It does not end up as the same image quality as if the image was in png format to begin with.

I literally don't know what you're saying. If it's in jpg format and you edit it, then yes save it as a png from the editing program, that's the entire point of what I said. Converting an existing jpg to png doesn't improve anything, but saving your edit as a jpg again will recompress it and make it worse, whereas a png will preserve exactly what you're looking at in the editing program.
Basically, everyone ignore what singlestooge said, they're the exact opposite of correct.
First off please remember we are trying to keep the standard of the photos uploaded here fairly high, so please keep that in mind when uploading. This philosophy frames how will judge pictures and what we remove.
To the topic, there are a number of image types which we consider low quality, including, but not limited to:
This applies to videos too.
In certain cases months may go by before we notice an image with issues, unless in the upload queue, but in most cases the image is subject for removal.
The judgement lies with the moderators and the bar for rejection may drop when an uploader is consistently submitting borderline or poor quality content. So please follow the upload rules and guidelines, along with considering the comments on low quality uploads.
